Find three numbers that have 2, 4, and 8 as factors

On Texas Avenue between University Drive and George Bush Drive, accidents occur according to a Poisson process at a rate of thre

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

(a) The probability is 0.6514

(b) The probability is 0.7769

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of accidents occur according to a poisson process, the probability that x accidents occurs on a given day is:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}$

Where a is the mean number of accidents per day and t is the number of days.

So, for part (a), a is equal to 3/7 and t is equal to 1 day, because there is a rate of 3 accidents every 7 days.

Then, the probability that a given day has no accidents is calculated as:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{x}}{x!}$

$P(0)=\frac{e^{-3/7}*(3/7)^{0}}{0!}=0.6514$

On the other hand the probability that February has at least one accident with a personal injury is calculated as:

P(x≥1)=1 - P(0)

Where P(0) is calculated as:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-at}*(at)^{x} }{x!}$

Where a is equivalent to (3/7)(1/8) because that is the mean number of accidents with personal injury per day, and t is equal to 28 because 4 weeks has 28 days, so:

$P(x)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{x}}{x!}$

$P(0)=\frac{e^{-(3/7)(1/8)(28)}*((3/7)(1/8)(28))^{0}}{0!}=0.2231$

Finally, P(x≥1) is:

P(x≥1) = 1 - 0.2231 = 0.7769

The value of d is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is $u_{n}=u_{1}+(n-1)d$ , where

$u_{1}$ is the first term
d is the common difference between each 2 consecutive terms

The nth term of the geometric sequence is $u_{n}=u_{1}r^{n-1}$ , where

$u_{1}$ is the first term
r is the common ratio between each two consecutive terms $r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}$

∵ $u_{1}$ of an arithmetic sequence is 1

∵ The common difference is d, where d ≠ 0

∵ $u_{2}$ , $u_{3}$ , $u_{6}$ are the first 3 terms of a geometric sequence

∵ $u_{2}$ = 1 + (2 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + d

∵ $u_{3}$ = 1 + (3 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + 2d

∵ $u_{6}$ = 1 + (6 - 1)d

∴ $u_{2}$ = 1 + 5d

∴ The first 3 terms of the geometric sequence are (1 + d) , (1 + 2d) ,

(1 + 5d)

∵ The common ratio in the geometric sequence is $r=\frac{u_{2}}{u_{1}}=\frac{u_{3}}{u_{2}}$

∴ $r=\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}$

- Use cross multiplication with the equal fractions

∵ $\frac{1+2d}{1+d}=\frac{1+5d}{1+2d}$

∴ (1 + 2d)(1 + 2d) = (1 + d)(1 + 5d)

∴ 1 + 2d + 2d + 4d² = 1 + 5d + d + 5d²

- Add like terms in each side

∴ 1 + 4d + 4d² = 1 + 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 1 from both sides

∴ 4d + 4d² = 6d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d from both sides

∴ 4d² = 2d + 5d²

- Subtract 4d² from each side

∴ 0 = 2d + d²

- Take d as a common factor

∴ 0 = d(2 + d)

- Equate each factor by 0

∴ d = 0 but we will reject it because d ≠ 0

∴ 2 + d = 0

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ d = -2

The value of d is -2
